“Searching for Moonbeams” by Bryan Utesch

Searching for moonbeams while climbing endless stairs up to open aired rooftops where inhaling deep breaths becomes romantic in some mysterious way. Pulled towards an irresistible shining light warming an inner comfort by gazing captivated

in your silhouette

against folding stars.. * . Searching

I fall brighter than ever and burning faster than a blink is able to miss

to listening laughter

&

love

in the space between

.*.Witness to the unplugging cork of thought and steadfast tree spirits flowing out, trying to catch a simple second of passing eyes and glancing happenstance where butterflies lingerAnd sweet nectar flows. * . * . * Yesterday was the longest day of my life and possibly my first, for everything is meaningful as it gets later, and later on I cannot sleep.for another yesterday with you.
